Character wont go to the back for the controlling player

2 players in a pathfinder game I'm running have familiars, and no matter what I do the players who control the familiar will only ever see the familiar's token under their own token. This is what the player sees. This is what the other players see. We have been trying to fix this for 2 days now and it's starting to wear on my nerves.

This is designed so that a Player's token can't get lost, if accidentally hidden under a larger token. For example if you're encountering a huge dragon, and a PC goes "under" the dragon, it's intended that the Player still be able to see & click their own token, even as others can see that the Token went under the dragon. Does the Player have control of the Familiar's token? If the Player has control of 2 tokens then I think "to Front" and "to Back" would stack them for that player's view. Try assigning control of the familiar token, to the Player, if it isn't already. Wiki doc, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features#Controlled_" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features#Controlled_</a>... Some other sort-of workarounds could be: Make an image of the Familiar on the Character and save it as one image, one JPG or PNG for a new combined token. From there you could have a Rollable Table Token which can flip from Character+Familiar to Character Without Familiar.&nbsp; Or, different idea: use the Status Effects icons to put a tiny icon on the Token when it's considered to be carrying the familiar (for example the snail status icon). Status wiki, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features#Status_Indi" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Token_Features#Status_Indi</a>... Rollable Table Token "choose side" method, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Using_a_Rollab" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Using_a_Rollab</a>... Others may come along with additional ideas and responses.
The jerboa is enlarged for your sake to make it easier to understand. But usually it will be about 1/4th the size of a square. The players have control over both token, for this argument the player controls the jerboa token and black haired girl token. No matter what I do, sending either token to the back or front, the player still sees the Jerboa under the black haired girl while the rest of us see the correct order of the jerboa token on top.
OK so I fixed it. For anyone who runs into similar issues. Giving the token that kept hiding underneath sight(checking the "Has sight" box) fixed this issue.

Thanks for posting your solution!
I hate it when people say "Nvm fixed it" and nothing else.
